An Excellent Potato SaladAugust 02, 2009By Mustang_Sally
"We usually make a warm potato salad with a vinegar and coarse ground mustard base, but I was in the mood for a creamy salad with eggs that I have become fond of lately. This recipe hit it out of the park! I made it with Yukon Gold which made it even creamier. My spouse said he really was pleasantly surprised with the mix of flavors, too. He suggested we use green onion next time, which we will try. This is a keeper!!"
